Note:
All of the above rankings are taken directly from the NCAA except for strength of schedule, which is not ranked by the NCAA and instead taken from S&P+.
The Redzone TD% and Redzone TD% Defense are calculated by me and not ranked by the NCAA. Determining who has the advantage in these categories is strictly my arbitrary judgment.
Quick thoughts:
Once you get over the sadness that Penn State isn’t in this game (and wouldn’t be in it, even if the Lions had played well and beaten Michigan State), the numbers look like this game will be a pretty darn close one.
